I am not physically aggressive. Ever.

E just told me two little boys have been trying to kiss her at school. I just told her she has my permission to slap them if they try again. She smiled in surprise. But I was not smiling. I tried to keep it light as I explained that her body is hers alone and if someone tries to do something to her without her permission, she can do anything she has to do to stop them...and if her teacher says something, to have her call mommy. Did I really just tell my first grader that?! Good grief. Who have I become?

About Me

The sweet little hands you see above belong to my youngest daughter. We took pictures of her and her sister holding out some pebbles because, at that time, rocks were one of her greatest treasures. I show it to you because it seems to pretty accurately sum up my blog. I don't come to you with any great gems of wisdom, perhaps only a few ordinary pebbles. But for those of you who find some beauty and meaning in the simple and ordinary, I offer you some bits of my life.
